NATASHA LAW “HOLD”

HAPPENINGText: Sayaka Hirakawa

To reply Sunday Times interview, Law said “I wanted something that would appeal to men and women, something non-threatening.”

Laura Parker Bowles, co-curator of Eleven also said in this paper, “People aren’t intimidated by her art. It’s so simple and accessible- you don’t have to sit back and think too much about it. Mostly women are buyers, but a painting by Law is like a ‘Kate Moss’-it’s sexy to both men and women.”

According to the interview, her glamorous fashionable inspiration came from her experience in backstage of a fashion show. She started going to her mother’s friend fashion shows and collected images of half dressed models.

Very personally though I feel like her works fit in someone’s private room rather than being in a gallery. It may tell of her own values or the lifestyle itself. Access fashionart.com, which her film star brother Jude Law supports as well, it may come true that one of her works gives your room a little bit of idea.
